We have shown that admitting for free a limited number of top developers from OSGeo core projects, that could not otherwise attend, will not be a cost to the conference, but an opportunity. The attitude shown confirms the widespread feeling of a modest attention to developers, and of the primary aim of FOSS4G as a moneymaking machine. To me, developers are really the blood and nerves of free software, and should be cared of. This closure to a reasonable proposal does not shed a bight light on OSGeo, too. All the best. - -- Paolo Cavallini - Faunalia www.faunalia.eu Full contact details at www.faunalia.eu/pc Nuovi corsi QGIS e PostGIS: http://www.faunalia.it/calendario -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlE635YACgkQ/NedwLUzIr68oACgqpb/1RUSnGBjQy03BuMMhNsD sxgAnjNoUb3ejZCHA3EjpQ8FEVWOft5N =4lyF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
